Criterion to launch game-completion tool for PS3 Burnout Paradise

Burnout: Paradise is getting some major updates, and Criterion has announced …

Burnout Paradise ended up being a great entry in the series, and we've known for a while now that the game would be enjoying some rather unexpected and beefy updates. Critierion has also given word on a very neat feature: the ability upload your save game file to Criterion's website and then see what you've done and what you still have to do. Sadly, this is only for the PS3 version, but it's a neat idea for those of us who have the game for Sony's console.

Here's how it works:

PS3 players with the recently-released Bogart software update will be able to import their save game via USB drive or Memory Stick and analyse it on criteriongames.com!

Based on that, we create an interactive map that allows you to view the location of all incomplete discoverables. That includes Jumps, Smashes, Billboards, Junkyards, Body Shops, Paint Shops, Gas Stations and Car Parks.

Our technicians are just putting the final touches to this feature – we expect it to go live imminently!

I like things that come sooner rather than later. If you haven't had a chance to play Paradise yet (and you should), there is a metric ton of stuff to do in the game; any way to make the job of finding out what you still need to do easier is welcome. I hope more developers are paying attention to Criterion. This is how you support your game after launch.
